FontRegister is a command-line, Open Source app to install fonts or repair the font registry.

FontRegister is a command-line, Open Source app to install fonts or repair the font registry.As always, anything command-line is much more difficult for many to use, so we'd love to see an optional GUI here considering the size of many font collections. That said, it is still a handy, capable tool to manage your fonts including fon, ttf, ttc, and otf.Currently, the following commands are available://Will start a commandline interface:fontregister//View all available commands:fontregister --help//Perform registry cleanup and font repair:fontregister --cleanupfontregister --clear//Register fonts in the following folders or specific file/s://Note: Folders are deep-searched recusively.fontregister "c:/folder" "c:/font.ttf" "./relativedir/" "./relativedir/font.otf" Help commands include:--cleanup / --clear: Will remove any old font registrations in the registry. Will repair any missing font registrations for fonts located in the C:WindowsFonts directory(this step will be skipped for .fon fonts if FontReg cannot determine which fonts should have "hidden" registrations)."c:/path1" "c:/font.ttf" ... "./relativedir/" Will add or replace a font with a given path/folder. Note: Folders are deep-searched recursively.FontRegister certainly gets the job done for command-line geeks, and it's good enough to be listed here, but we remain hopeful that an optional GUI becomes available down the road.
